GOSSIP WITH OUR F HIE ND S.—Christmas greetings to all. +A "Merry Christmas" to the the little ones 4hose dear. tender minds retain no impression of the terrible 30th ofJnly. A " happy Christman" to those who escaped Unit day of wrath. A " thankful Christmas "to the few who can say " thy will be done;" and a "Cheerful Christnias" to all but the poor exiles Who " at each remove draga lengthening chain." Come, friends, let us live in•the" past a few moments. Let us shut oui eyes, and we will have a Benue. eide feast. We will think of last Christmas, when we had our happy homes, to which St. Nicholas was sure to I come , loaded with presents for our little ones who bad been so good the whole year ti b le before, w had said their prayers regularly and had pray God to bless them, their parents, broth ers, sis ,ref friends, their homes and their coon tryr—Let us each one remember his home, the carpet, - .the furniture, the bright warm stove, the libthe pictures, the portraits, the old mirror that had reflected the faces of those who are now dead,-the little sock of the dead'haby, and- the bright curl clipped'from the marble forehead of the coffined child. Let a tear drop, if you can - it will do you good. My own eyes are not altogeth er dry. Remember Christmas comes but once a year, and it commemorates the lowly birth of our poor. infant who grew up to have no home—" no place to lay his head," who was persecuted and despised, who died an ignominious death; but who, thank God! rose from the dead, and is now the; " first among ten thousand." While I write the busy hum of machinery shakes the whole building; and the roar of a city of a million of souls strikes full upon my ear, but my heart and mind'are in old Chambersburg. I hear familiar voicearyea even of those who have long, long ago left us for a better world, and it is because it is Christmas. Once a year perhaps the dead are al lowed to return to their old homes. Let us be careful what we say or do at such /•time. We may grieve many happy saints who retain their worldly interest in as. Father, mother and sad may be,nearus, to cheer us on our pilgrimage thrqugfr this - wicked world; anxious to welcome us to their happy homes in the skies ; sad and sor ', rowing when we err. It is sometimes a. comfort to look at those behind us in the race instead of before. Here I can daily and hourly see poor Wretches who never had a lulme, and most likely never will—poor little boys and girls some just old enough to walk, standing out in the cold with scarcely rags enough on to cover their nakedness. One block from Broadway, with its palaces and show, brings us to the houses, not homed, of these outcasts. Every room in such houses represent at least one family. Come and visit one of these tenements, and you will never complain again. The ground is now covered with snow, and yetthere are hundreds in the city who have noteven old shoes to wear. But let us leave these sad sights, having looked at them long enough to make ue better satisfied with our lot, and take a brighter look at things. There his doubtless been many a merry Christmas dinner in old C--g, many a fat turkey boned, and many a rooster gone where there shall be no more crowing. Many a 1 otato has been boiled, if not frightened, out of its skin; many an onion has made its despoiler weep for its fate; manyopounds of beef and suet and raisins and citron and apples, together with enough cider and brandy to enliven "but not inebriate," have been manufactured into what the giant told Jack be'd make of him; turnips, pnnipkins and parsnips have - gone down—not in price; geese have been shorn of their feathers, and have'giveu up their grease ; butter and eggs have been at a premium, until thetows refused to yield milk, and the bens to lay eggs without a further advance; full many erblushing yet obdurate cranberry, has been soft ened by the sweet compliments of the manly su gar cane, as an ancient maiden under the persua sive flattery of the only animal who carries a cane; and to crown all, you have bad your fill of pud dings and sausages. Imagine me 'giving a genii- Ment—in coffee, of course—at your well spread board: "Here is to puddings and sauttages;fresh and smoked, bologna an4all—may the "last link" never-"be broken.". Hip, hiNhooray, Thank you kind' friends, "let me not-stir you up - to sudden mutiny," but you should hear the tales about sausages in New York. Why they say that buttons are frequently found in them, and hails— to(e) be.sure. 1-had a series of fearful adventures last night, going home. It was very cold and very slippy. I fell and might have broken my arm in two pla ces, and may have splintered a paving stone There were so many falling, however, that one fall was not worth minding. Coming down a lit tle hill I started to slide; a pretty young lady from .an apposite height was in the same predicament. 1 tried to stop, and she tried to stop, but it was due itse. I called out, "I can't resist." ' She laughed; "Nor I," and so we slid gently into each There arnia, to the intense enjoyment of the by guiders, giving a Bohemian-looking fellow an opportuctity of saying to me : "Well, you are a slippery customer." Once more a happy Christ mas to all, and to all a good-pight."

Solomon Snyder, Henry Walker, Cornelius Bowman, THE Smut' AND. RE.v. Ma. CoNnAt—The Spirit has done a aise - thing in re-calling the midi cionsattack upon Rev. Mr. Conrad that appeared in its editorial coltnn4 immediately after the elec tion. When it appeared few there were who ap proved it—fewer still who could concede a proper moths for it, {% bile all whose judgments were not unbalanced by the rancor of partizan strife read it with feelings of sorrow or contempt. We did not then refer to it, nor did ire allow correspon dents to do so, because we felt that the author or parts respousible for its publication would mop Of all regret it. Politicians who throw themselves into the political arena are legitimate objects for political assaults; but because ministers belie that the powers ordained of God demand the high est christian fidelity in maintaining them, and thus teach their followers 'even with zeal in times of great National peril, does not warrant the delibe rate degradation of the clergy to the narrow pre judices and unbridled passions which but too of ten obtain in our political contests. This the Spirit did with Mr. Conrad, but after wgeks of 'deliberation it has re-called its article—admits that it was misinformed as to the true character of Mr. Conrad's sermon, and frankly withdraws "any harsh or offensive terms which occur in the article alluded to." In conclusion it says: "It affords us much pleasure to be able to state in this cormeetion. that the temporary difficulties in the congre gation over which Mr. Conrad is pastor, have all been am icably and satisfactorily adjusted through the exercise of a spirit of mutual concession and forbearance. This is as it should be; and it is sincerely to be hoped that in the fu ture no cause may arise to disturb the peace and harmony of the congregation, and that true Cluistian charity, the very essence of religion, may continuo to prevail and abound.•• LOOK TO THE ENROLLMENT LISTS.—The Provost Marshals sit daily, from 9to 4 o'clock, at their headquarters, to hear the claime of per sons, exempt from the draft. The present IS the time for thoie who are exempt to go forward and establish their claims. The number of men to be drafted in each dis trict is.estimatell from the number on the enroll ment list, hence the necessity of reducing that list. It is generally the case that - persons not li able to draft refrain from claiming exemption; thinking that they will be all right in ease their . names are drawn from the wheels: Their neglect of this duty of course swells the enrollment list, and the quota of such district is made much hea vier than it legally should be. Now let every man liable to the draft urge upon his neighbor; who may be enrolled and who is not liable to go for ward at once and have his name stricken from the list. If a general movement of this kind was to take place all over the county, our quota on the pending draft might be largely reduced. IMPORTANT NOTICE.—The Board of Enroll ment for this district will sit, for the correction of the enrollment lists, in Bedford on the 12th, 13th and 14th of January ; in M'Connellsburg on the" 16th and 17th; in Gettysburg on the 20th and 21st; in Somerset on the 23th, 26th and 27th and in Chambersburg on the 30th and 31st. All per sons claiming exemption should appear personally 1 f possible. and conilnittees for each district should be selected to see that all improper enrollments should be stricken from the lists, so that the quotas for the new call may be justly determined. Capt. Eyster is untiring in his efforts to deal justly with all, and if seconded by-tGe people by a proper at tention to thdir own interests, our quotas will want no 'recision when officially declared. INCREASE OF SALARY.—The Convention of School Direetori of this county - met inithe public School house in this place on Thursday last, to consider the propriety of -raising the salary of Mr. M'Elwaine, County Superintendent. .1. Craig M'Lanahan, Esq . presided and J. X. Hys song was Secretary. The first motion was to fix the salary of the Superintendent at $lOOO. which was_not agreed to ; next the sum of $7OO was disagreed to, Mid finally_ the salary was fixed at $BOO per annum—an increase of, $2OO. Mr. M'Elwaiue is eminently fitted for the place, and even the increased salary is but a poor compen sation for the services he renders. THE Carrier of the REPosrrohr Hill make his usual New Year Call on Monday Lest, with his Address, and we bespeak for him a generous re ception and liberal contributions of clean-faced postal earreticy and veenbacki, all of which will be taken at far. He has been threading the ruins of Chambersburg for mouths past to deliver his weekly budget, and now comes for his reward. Remember the Printer's boy WAYNESBORO' ITEms.—Mr. John C. R. Eck man died suddenly on Monday week, at the Wash ington House. Dr. I. N. &lively, formerly of this place, has located in Waynesboro', to practice medicine. The Ladies held a Fair and Old Folks' Concert last weeklOkthe benefit of the Christian Commission. Mr. J.Neaver has sold his house on Main street to Dr. B. Frantz, for $4,000. LARGE EAGLE.—Mr. H. T. Snyder, of Fay etteville, shot a Vlaek Eagle- on Saturday week, measuring seven feet four inches and a half from the tips of its wings, and three feet and a half from the head to the tip Of the tail It weighed eighteen pounds, and its talon§ when opened mea sured nine inches. Mr. Snyder killed it. at a dis tance of over two hundred yards. MILITARY CHANGES.-ill pursuance of special order, No. 301, slaj. John T.

TILE LINE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICES In the proceedings had in the Supreme Court of the United States, on Wednesday of last week, iu conunetuoration . of the death of Chief justice Taney, that Inagigrate was styled the fifth in the line of our Chief Justices. In other places he has been styled the fourth, and in still others, the sixth. The National Intelligvtcer says the variation results from the omission or inclusion of' one or bath of the names of JoIM Rutledge and William Cushing, of whom the former was ap pointed Chief Justice by Preside* Washington, and took , his seat on the bench, but was rejected by the Senate, and of whom the latter was appoin ted by the President and confirmed by the Sen ate, but never acted in that capacity. The cir cumstances of their respective cases are as fol- , While John Jay was absent in England, engag ed in the negotiation of the British treaty of 1794, he was chosen Governor of the State of New York. anticipating his resignation of= the Chief Justice,Prelident Washington offered the vacant post to John Rutledge, of South Carolina.' In tact, Mr. Jay's resignation was received on the 30th of June, 1795, and on the following day the President ordered the commission of Mr. Rutledge as Chief Justice to be made out as of the date. The appointment of the President and the pro mulgation of the British treaty, as negotiated by Jay and ratified by the Senate, reached Charles ton, the residence of Rutledge, about the same time. The indignation of the majority of the pee ple of Charleston at the terms of the treaty knew no bounds, and Rutledge, sharing in this popular sentiment, addressed an excited assemblage on the subject in language of reprehension and re proach, which symbolited with the most violent diction of President Washington's political oPpo nent. As Judge Rutledge had been a no less trusted than able member of the Federal party, his " imprudent sally," as 'Alexander Hamilton styled it, was read with "pain, surprise and mor tification." Hamilton took up his pen in reply to Rutledge's onslaught on the treaty and the entire Federal party, not, knowing that he had received the appointment of Chief Justice before be had ta ken his stand against the convention of Jay, was indignant at his defection, or at the false complai sance of the President, as seine supposed, when the intelligence of hie appointment was made pub lic, without its being known that the honor had been tendereeto him before his opposition to the treaty was indicated. Chief Justice Rutledge took his seat on the bench at the August term of the Supreme Cohrt, which oPened at Philadelphia on the 21st of that month, in the year 1795. On the adjournment of the Court, after a session of but a few days; he returned to Charleston. In November of the same year he proceeded to Augusta to bold a term of the Circuit Court, and soon afterwards set out to hold the circuit in North Carolina, but was over taken hy sickness on the way. His long and in cessant,labors had impaired the vigor of his con stitution, and. under the access of disease, his blind gave Way. The rumor of his failing health con spired' with the political rancor of the Federal ma jority in the Senate to procure his rejection by that body. "The Senate's refusal to confirm his ap pointment," says the biographer from - whom we glean these memoranda, "extinguished the last spark jof his sanity." A burning and a shining lightlb - our Revolutionary period, his sun went in a cloud: lie died ,m the 16th of July. in the year IrtlO. After the rejection of Rutledge by the Senate, President Washington nominated Wm. Cushing, ofMatsachusetts, why was one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, and held his commission about a week, when, ou the ground of fading health, he returned it, de clining the appointment. He never actually pre sided as Chief Justice, and. "hence his name ha 4 sometimes been omitted from the line of the Chief Justices of the United States. If we in clude both Judge' Cushing and Judge Rutledge in the category. Judge Chase is the seventh.— The order of the succession is as follows: John Jay; John Rutledge, 'William Cushing, Oliver Ellsworth, John Marshall, Roger B. Taney. and Sahnon P. Chase. A NOBLE UTTERENCE. The New York Evening Post takes noble ground in its interpretation of the meaniniof Mr. T.Aticoln" , i re-election, iind still nobler in its, ap peal to loyal men of all parties, to endeavor to unite those great energies, by the division of u kick only the rebellion can hope to triumph : "We do not exult in the event of the election of yesterday as the success of use party over another—far from it—but as another evideuee. of the ability of the American people to govern them selves and no maintain popular institutions on this continent. For the first time in tilt! history of mankind, a nation was called upon to express its will, through the forms of a popular election, in, regard to the conduct of a civil war, and as suredly there was something sublime in the calm ness and termination with which it resolved to bear the heavy burdens of the crisis rather than to surrender the principle of its institutions. In the face of an administrative management that many did not like, in the nice of several heavy conscriptions of troops; in the face of an accumu lating debt and a severe taxation, and against all the,machinations of enemies abroad, who sweep the iseas with their corsairs, the people have said: Let the war gn on until the supremacy 01 the Constitution and laws shall be completely indi cated " `ll . General McClellan had been successful in this political contest, we should have ,taken him atliis word as a Union oem, and lent a ready sup port to his every measure lookifig towards a con firmation of our national unity. We should have endeavored to strengthen his arm against that Me tMn of his friends who are looking in another di relation. We shall now except as much from his friends in regard to Mr. Lincoln. Let us have no More of these miferahle party disputes—of this most miserable party spirit. Our country do utands our united, efforts. Let us join, then, in the determination to prosecute the wa r with all oar energies; and by every military means in our possession.

'The Pine Grove Iron Works, situate in Penn township, Cumberland eputity, have been sold to the " South Mountain Iron Company" for a old- lion and a half of dollars.

It cannot well fail to pay 'regular tilividends as soon as its organization is' effected. The books will close in a few days, when the stock will doubtless be held at an a'al.4l?tee.

The cash priceis still' $o per share, which pays in full. Contracts have already been made to sink ten wells, on lease on the Cher ry Run property of the Company: These wells cost the Company nothing and, it gets half the yield of Oil.
